The Company’s 2017 Annual Report, including the financial report, the Directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report for the year ended 30 June 2017, will be considered. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so.

The auditor, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, will be present at the meeting. The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions relevant to:

  • (b) the preparation and content of the auditor's report;

  • (c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The Chairman will also give the auditor a reasonable opportunity to answer written questions submitted by Shareholders that are relevant to the content of the auditor's report or the conduct of the audit. A list of written questions, if any, submitted by Shareholders will be made available at the start of the meeting and any written answer tabled by the auditor at the meeting will be made available as soon as practicable after the meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 Introduction

Pursuant to Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted is required to be put to the vote at the Company’s AGM. While the vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, the Board will take into consideration the outcome of voting on this resolution when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

The remuneration report describes the Company's remuneration policy for non-executive Directors, executive Directors and other senior executives. The remuneration report is set out in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report, which can be viewed in the “Investor” section on the Company’s website (www.s2resources.com.au).

The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report.

2.2 Voting consequences

Shareholders should note that if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the Company's remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings are against adopting the Company's remuneration report, and a resolution was not put to the vote at the first of those consecutive annual general meetings under a prior application of the two strikes rule, then Shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on a "spill resolution" at the second of those annual general meetings.

2.3 Previous voting results

This is the Company's second AGM since it was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 19 October 2015. The 2016 Remuneration Report was approved on a poll at the 2016 AGM with 98.43% of votes cast voting “For” the resolution. Accordingly, a spill resolution is not relevant for this AGM.

2.4

Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution 1 should note the following:

  • (a) If you appoint a member of the KMP (other than the Chairman) whose remuneration details are included in the remuneration report, or a closely related party of such a member as your proxy, you must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution 1.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (where he is also a member of the KMP whose remuneration details are included in the remuneration report, or a loosely related party of such a member) or if you appoint any other person as your proxy you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution 1, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement in the Proxy Appointment Form.

3. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF MR JEFF DOWLING AS A DIRECTOR

3.1 Introduction

Shareholder approval is sought for the re-election of Mr Jeff Dowling as a Director of the Company.

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election at each annual general meeting.

3.6(c) of the Company’s constitution provides that an election of directors must be held at each annual general meeting and if no election of directors is scheduled to occur for reasons other than by rotation, then one director must retire from office at the annual general meeting.

Mr Jeff Dowling retires as required by rule 3.6(c) of the Company's constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director of the Company. Mr Dowling holds office until the conclusion of the AGM. If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Dowling will be re-elected and continues as a Director of the Company.

3.2 Experience

Mr. Dowling was appointed to the Board of the Company on 29 May 2015 as an NonExecutive Director following the demerger of the Company from Sirius. Mr. Dowling previously held the positions of Non-Executive Director and Chairman of Sirius. Mr. Dowling is a proficient corporate leader with 37 years' experience in professional services with Ernst & Young. Jeff has held numerous leadership roles within Ernst & Young which focused on the mining, oil and gas and other industries.

8

for a period of 5 years. Jeff also led Ernst & Young's Oceania China Business Group, responsible for building Ernst & Young's Oceania relationships with Chinese Corporations.

3.3 Corporate governance

As outlined above, the Board confirms that appropriate reviews with respect to Mr. Dowling's re-election have been conducted.

3.4 Independence

If elected the board considers Mr. Dowling will be an independent director.

Board recommendation: The Board (excluding Mr. Dowling) recommends that Mr. Dowling be re-elected as a Director of the Company .

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 6 –ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS TO DR MARK BENNETT, MS ANNA NEULING, MR JEFF DOWLING AND MR GREY EGERTON-WARBURTON

4.1 Introduction

The Company has also agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Options to each of the Company's Directors, being:

  • (a) Dr Mark Bennett;

  • (b) Ms Anna Neuling;

  • (c) Mr Jeff Dowling (contingent on his re-election at the AGM); and

  • (d) Mr Grey Egerton-Warburton,

(together, the Director Options ).

Subject to the relevant Resolutions being passed, the Director Options will be issued pursuant to the Director Share Option Plan ( Plan ), the terms and conditions of which are set out in Schedule 1 and released on ASX on 15 October 2015.

4.2

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Without an exception, the issue of Director Options to the Directors, require Shareholder approval because:

9

  • (a) the issue of the Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit; and

  • (b) the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides an exception from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval in the context of a financial benefit that is considered to be "reasonable remuneration" in light of the circumstances of the company and the related party's circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment). The Board (excluding each Director in relation to his or her own proposed issue of Director Options) considers the grant of the Director Options is an appropriate and reasonable component of the remuneration for the Directors. Nevertheless, the Board considers it appropriate to seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (and in any event is required to seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, as outlined below).

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Director Options to the Directors.

4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

As the issue of the Director Options involves the issue of securities to a Director pursuant to the Director Share Option Terms and Conditions, Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is required for the issue of the Director Options.

Approval of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Options to the Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

4.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 to 6:

  • (a) The related parties are Dr Mark Bennett, Ms Anna Neuling, Mr Jeff Dowling and Mr Grey Egerton-Warburton and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

  • (b) The maximum number of Director Options to be issued to the Directors (or their nominee/s) is 7,750,000 comprising:

  • (i) 4,000,000 Director Options to Dr Bennett;

  • (ii) 1,250,000 Director Options to Ms Neuling;

  • (iii) 1,250,000 Director Options to Mr Dowling; and

  • (iv) 1,250,000 Director Options to Mr Egerton-Warburton.

10

  • (c) The Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Options. The exercise price of the Director Options will be set at 143% of the 5-day VWAP as at the date of the AGM. As such, the Company may receive cash consideration as a result of the issue of Shares on an exercise of Director Options, being an amount equal to the exercise price multiplied by the number of Director Options that are exercised. A table demonstrating potential receipt of funds by the Company upon exercise of the Director Options is set out below, noting the various exercise prices have been calculated based on the last Share price as at 5 September 2017, being $0.165:

(l) If all of the Director Options issued to the Directors are exercised, a total of 7,750,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 246,052,452 to 253,802,452 (assuming that no other options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.44% comprising 1.22% by Dr Bennett and 0.41% by each of the remaining Directors.

  • (m) The market price for shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that

  • (o) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Options to the Directors is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2014 Amendments (3rd Edition) as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Options to the Directors reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (q).

  • (p) The primary purpose of the issue of the Director Options to the Directors is to better align the interests of the Directors with the interests of Shareholders.

  • (q) The issue of Director Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Directors. It is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options on the terms proposed.

  • (r) The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 8.

Board recommendation:

  • (a) Dr Mark Bennett declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6, Dr Bennett recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out below.

  • (b) Ms Anna Neuling declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to her material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that she is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 4 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3, 5 and 6, Ms Neuling recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out below.

  • (c) Mr Jeff Dowling declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3, 4 and 6, Mr Dowling recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out below.

13

  • (d) Mr Grey Egerton-Warburton declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted the Director Options in the Company should Resolution 6 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, Mr Egerton-Warburton recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out below.

Reasons for recommendation:

In forming their recommendations with respect to the Director Options, each Director considered the experience of each other Director, the current market price of Shares, and current market practices when determining the number of Director Options to be issued as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Director Options.

5. RESOLUTION 7 - PLACEMENT OF OPTIONS TO SERVICE PROVIDERS

5.1 Introduction

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 700,000 Options to service providers ( Placement ) in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to issue the Options pursuant to the Placement during the period of three months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the company's 15% annual placement capacity.

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to issue options to the service providers on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.

5.2

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) The maximum number of Options the Company is to issue to the service providers is 700,000.

  • (b) The Options are expected to be issued on 17 October 2017 and in any case no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment of the Options will occur on the same date.

  • (c) The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration in satisfaction of exploration and business development services provided by the service providers listed in (d) below. The exercise price of the Options will be set at 143% of the 5-day VWAP as at the date of the AGM. A table setting out the potential amount raised from exercise of the Options is demonstrated below, noting the various exercise prices have been calculated based on the last Share price as at 5 September 2017, being $0.165:

  • (e) The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3 to this Notice of Meeting.

  • (f) No funds will be raised from the Placement as the Options are being issued in consideration for geological services provided by the service providers. However, funds will be received by the Company if those Options are exercised.

6. RESOLUTION 8 - APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

6.1 Introduction

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its AGM to allow it to issue equity securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital.

Accordingly, the effect of Resolution 8 if passed, will be to allow the Company to issue that number of equity securities that is equal to 10% of the number of equity securities that are on issue during the period ending on the date that is 12 months after the AGM ( Additional Placement Capacity ), in addition to the 15% permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without subsequent Shareholder approval.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 8, the total number of equity securities the Company may issue pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 6.2 below).

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has 246,052,452 ordinary securities on issue. The Company currently has the capacity to issue 36,907,867 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If passed, the Company will have the capacity to issue a further 24,605,245 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Shareholders should note that the Board has no current intention to use the Additional Placement Capacity, but considers it prudent in the current economic climate to have the capacity to do so.

Resolution 8 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the AGM must be in favour of Resolution 8 for it to be passed.

15

Set out below is more background information on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the specific disclosures required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to seek shareholder approval by special resolution at its annual general meeting to have the Additional Placement Capacity.

An entity will be an " eligible entity " if, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting, the relevant entity:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $40.6 million[1] .

An equity security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity, the Company may only issue equity securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's equity securities. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the classes of the Company's equity securities that are quoted on ASX are shares (ASX: S2R).

The exact number of equity securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of equity securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid equity securities issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid equity securities that became fully paid equity securities in the previous 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of equity securities issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of equity securities under the Company's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

  • (iv) less the number of equity securities cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are

1 The Company's market capitalisation was determined by reference to the Company's closing share price on 5 September 2017 (being the last practicable trading date prior to the date of this Notice or Meeting).

16

not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

6.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company provides the following information:

(a) Maximum number and timing of issue

The maximum number of Shares to be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity is not known at this time, as the Board has no current intention to use the Additional Placement Capacity, but considers it prudent in the current economic climate to have the capacity to do so.

(b) Minimum issue price

The minimum price at which Shares can be issued is 75% of the VWAP of Shares, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class of securities recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Shares are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the Shares are issued.

(c) Date of issue / term of the approval

Shares may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).

(d)

Risk of voting dilution

If Shares are issued pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the following risks:

  • (i) the market price for Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (i.e. the date of the AGM, if Resolution 8 is passed); and

  • (ii) Shares may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Shares.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (assuming that Resolution 8 is passed by shareholders), on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of equity securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The Board is of the view that Scenarios 2 and 3 are unlikely to arise, however, certain aspects of these scenarios are specifically required to be set out by the ASX Listing Rules and are therefore included in compliance with those requirements. Accordingly, the assumptions below are hypothetical and should not be interpreted as an indication of future issue prices, the performance of the Company's Share price or the number of Shares on issue.

The table assumes differing numbers of Shares on issue (i.e. variable "A" in the above formula) and the issue prices for Shares over three scenarios, but in each scenario it is assumed that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the Additional Placement Capacity. For example:

  • (i) Variable "A" differs across each scenario. Scenario 1 assumes there is no change to the number of Shares on issue. Scenarios 2 and 3 then assume an increase of 50% and 100% (respectively) to the number of Shares on issue. There may be an increase in the number of Shares on issue as a result of issues that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement offer).

18

  • (ii) Within each scenario, three different issue prices for the Shares are assumed. One of the issue prices is the closing Share price on 5 September 2017, being the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting going to print. The other two issue prices then assume a 50% decrease to that closing Share price and a 100% increase to that price.

The scenario analysis in the above table has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:

  • (i) There are currently 246,052,452 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (ii) The issue price set out in the fourth column above is the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 5 September 2017, being the last practicable trading date prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting going to print.

  • (iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Shares under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  • (iv) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (vi) Other than as indicated in the table, the Company does not issue any additional Shares during the time that the Additional Placement Capacity is valid.

  • (vii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the existing 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (viii) No Options are exercised between the time the Additional Placement Capacity is approved and before the date of the issue of the Shares.

  • (iii) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. They are intended to provide a general overview. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their own specific circumstances.

(e) Purpose of issue under Additional Placement Capacity

The purpose of any issue would be disclosed to Shareholders at the time of such an issue. The Company currently has cash reserves of approximately $25 million. However, in general terms, the Company could issue shares under the Additional Placement Capacity to raise cash to fund the Company's forward exploration and development work programs or for the purposes of funding a strategic acquisition.

(f) Allocation policy under the Additional Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the Additional Placement Capacity. The identity of placees for the issue of Shares under the Additional Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of the issue and at the Company's discretion. Accordingly, no recipients of any Shares to be issued under the Additional

19

Placement Capacity have yet been determined. However, the recipients of Shares could consist of current Shareholders or new investors, or both, none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will have regard to numerous factors in determining the identity of any placees, including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) the alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, pro-rata entitlement offers, Share purchase plans or other issues in which Shareholders can participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the financial situation of the Company; and

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Shares under the Additional Placement Capacity.

(g) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting ( Previous Approval ). The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.

(h) Issues in the last 12 months.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 17 October 2016, the Company issued a total of 50,000 Shares which represent 0.02% of the total number of diluted Equity Securities on issue at 17 October 2016 which was 289,852,452. The Equity Securities issued in the preceding 12 months were as follows:

Date of Issue Ordinary

$15,500

Note 1: These Shares were issued to an employee pursuant to the exercise of ESOP options. The $15,500 raised pursuant to the exercise of these ESOP options is expected to be applied to exploration expenditure and general working capital.

The Company’s cash balance on 30 June 2017 was approximately $17,500,000. Cash raised from issues in the previous 12 months totals $15,500 (before costs). The $15,500 cash raised from the exercise of these ESOP options is expected to be applied to fund the Company’s exploration activities, feasibility studies and for general working capital purposes. The Company’s cash balance at the date of this

20

Notice is approximately $16,700,000, which includes 100% of the cash raised from issues in the previous 12 months, being $15,500 (before costs). The funds raised and expended to date have been used to fund exploration activities, feasibility studies and otherwise for general working capital purposes. The remaining funds are intended to be used to fund exploration activities, feasibility studies and for general working capital purposes.

(i) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Shares under the Additional Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of the recipients of the Shares and the number of Shares issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market which, among other things, includes details off the dilution of existing Shareholders caused by the relevant issue.

6.4 Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice of Meeting. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not invited any Shareholder to participate in an issue of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 8.

Board recommendation: Although no decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of Shares under the Additional Placement Capacity, and the Board has no current intention to do so, the Board considers it prudent for the Company to have the flexibility to be able to issue additional Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Board believes that Resolution 8 is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.

Attending the Meeting

If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".
